Have meaningful engagements with rightsholders

The other night, I was watching an episode of The Ranch on Netflix. One of the protagonists, the rancher father, was offered a deal by a downstream natural gas company to build a pipeline underneath his Bennett Ranch. Before even considering breaking ground, the natural gas company sought to inform and respect the rights of the owners by sharing valuable information through geologic maps illustrating the boundaries of the property and identifying where mineral deposits might lie.
